I hope y'all have had a chance to recover from "Thanksgiving dinner" last night because dessert's tonight! I present to you the dessert of champions all year 'round - not just this time of year!
{insert drum roll here}
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I'm noting only one "this day in history" item as a warning & fear that our nation might be facing something similar in the next couple of years. On this date in 1947, a group of writers, producers and directors that became known as the "Hollywood 10" was cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions about alleged Communist influence in the movie industry. I think there are going to be a whole mess of hearings, "UnAmerican" rhetoric, etc. being tossed about. Put the hip waders on 'cause we're gonna be in a world of $hit soonest.
Let's brighten up the atmosphere with SPARK! Those of you crazy enough to be going to a mall on Friday just might find "Black Friday" deals where you'd least expect them. YIKES! Those of you aiming for a more healthy gluttony - fest tomorrow might be thinking, "Better skip that yummy crunchy turkey skin & just eat the meat." WRONG! Finally, tummies & turkeys aren't the only things that get..er...uh...well..."stuffed" tomorrow!
Let's Countdown!
#5 "Banksters on Easy St." AKA "The ‘Uncertainty’ Myth" "Wall Street Orgy" AKA "Will Dems Fight Back?" - Wall Street wheeler – dealers are doing just fine, thank you very much. High priced dining is up, buying fancy shmancy cars is up, but they are still "uncertain." $hit, they’re uncertain about whether to wipe their $hitty bottoms with $50 bills or $100 bills. Some bank dude hired a midget to be handcuffed to a buddy of his during a bachelor party; now, THAT’s creative – wrong but creative! The GOBP is still pushing that trickle – down memo.
Good sparkin’ grief, just because you’re getting pi$$ed on doesn’t mean it’s raining! Tiffany’s business is better? YAHOO! Solid gold terlet, here I come – just in time for the holidays! Cosmetic surgeries are going up? That should make Small Price to Pay Goldilocks grin – also Mrs. Senator McCentury; y’all can’t tell me that she hasn’t had "work" done! David Cay Johnston tells us tonight what he’s uncertain about. ;D He’s NOT uncertain about greedy bastards being greedy bastards; he’s also NOT uncertain about the dire straits that millions of Americans are facing each & every day. The corporate tax rate will remain unchanged, but the ultra – rich want their cheap tax rates so they can keep buying fancy Cameros. People, people, people, if you’re going to spend coin on an expensive car, at least make it a Lamborghini or an Aston Martin or SOMETHING – preferably red, too! Mr. Johnston has told President Obama to call the GOBP’s bluff; I wish I was certain he’d actually do that. HA! HA! HA! More Happy Thanksgiving minus 1 for me because RICHARD WOLFFE is in da’ house!
Why MORE Happy Thanksgiving minus 1? Well, a certain Daily Kos diarist who diaries a certain MSNBC show every night received her copy of Revival today & is nearly ¾ of the way through it!!!!! :D And, yes, it’s signed! Photographic evidence will be provided next week. :D Final "judgment" of the book will be withheld until I’m finished, which at the current pace, won’t be very long; I’ll do my level – best to overcome any personal biases or the fact that "my guy’s" my freakin’ gorgeous hero in my review. ;D Richard thinks these gluttony of spending stories SHOULD break through to we, the people; again, I wish I was that confident. However, based on the results of the election a few weeks ago, I’m afraid most of the American electorate thinks of the rich the same way Senator – elect {insert retching here} Rand Paul does; we owe what good fortune we have TO the ultra rich. If they are happy, we should be happy. Richard also thinks this White House needs to ramp up their messaging efforts on this subject.
#4 "Hyporkrisy" AKA "GOP Hyporkrisy" - Senator Kooky Kyle, he of the anti – earmark & still fighting the Cold War Against the Soviets fame, signed onto an earmark! This street sign’s getting a HELL of a workout.
The settlements to African – American farmers and American Indians will FINALLY be paid out. There were 3 earmarks in the bill; the 1 GOBP earmark came from...well...guess who. David Weigel gets GOBP earmark hypocritical duty tonight. Some groups that keep track of earmarks DON’T consider what Senator Kooky Kyl did to be an earmark? Whatever...
** Some dude’s little red sports car broke. There’s the Cookie Monster; he wants to host SNL! Oh, I would SO WATCH THAT. :D Ya’ know, there USED to be Muppets on SNL in its early days. **
#3 "Touchy Subject" AKA "Hands Across America" AKA "Fear of Flying" - There were some bathing suits, speedos, and kilts on National Opt Out Day today, but that’s about it. Air travel is actually up this year. What? No numbers for my fine local Indianapolis International Airport? Please... "Hoosiers" are sheep; they follow everyone & everything. Bruce Schneider thinks not many people opted out because people, in large part, just wanna get the spark to where they’re going to. Travelers choose between the lesser of 2 nastiness. Mr. Schneider coined the phrase "security theatre" – and probably is a George Carlin fan, too! :D Most security measures look good but do exactly diddly – poo as far as actual security. Printer cartridges are banned now?! Good grief...
WPITW* Eric Young was driving and tipped over a big rig; he was carrying pudding & jello. Jabba the Ailes proposes in his employee guide that "truthers" need to be fired; well, then there wouldn’t be too many employees AT FAUX News by gosh by golly! Some federal agencies did a practice terror scenario where the terrorists were pot heads. Um, those smoking the wacky tobacky usually aren’t that...er...uh...motivated – not that I know from ANY personal experience at all whatsoever!
#1 "Next Media Animation" - $aint $arah from Wasilla is truly the gift that keeps on giving! She thinks we need to be all buddy – buddy with North Korea! Well, then maybe Kim Jung Il won’t be so "ronely" anymore! :D We get a HI – larious review of Apple Daily’s finest work. AND, even during the 2008 POTUS campaign, she just could not get through her hateful willfully – ignorant skull of why there was a North AND South Korea. I’ve said before; I’ll say it again. I would LOVE to get a look at her college transcripts! Oh...and...
O...M...G...this past Saturday was the 2 – year anniversary of $aint $arah of Wasilla’s visit to the turkey farm? AND, I MISSED IT?! Well, we sure as $hit have to celebrate that here tonight; that’s the SPARK mascot, ya’ know!
